MAKE TIME TO READ THE BIBLE


The Bible is a holy book containing the word of God, it is Holy, through the Bible we get help, when we are down, sad or facing hardships, we know where we ca run to, it is important that you child of God spent time on the word of God.

The word of God has an answer to all our problems, it is vital that we know the scriptures, we can defeat the devil through the knowledge of the bible, when tempting Jesus Christ, the devil quoted from the bible and told Jesus to throw Himself down as it is written that He will command his Angels concerning Jesus and they will lift Him up in their hands so that no foot of Jesus will strike a stone (Matthew 4:6-7). This shows the devil knows the Bible and if we know it, we can defeat him as Jesus replied back and said to Him “It is also written, do not put the Lord your God to the test”.

It very important we give ourselves time to study the word of God, meditate upon it and know it by heart, we spend so much time on our cellphones but not with the Bible!!, let us make the Bible our friend, it powerful, it rebukes, correct and gives life. Let us fill our minds with the knowledge of scripture.
We often fill our minds with things that brings us stress, depression and worry and in the end we up sick while with the word of God, we are empowered and can stand up to the devil and answer using the scripture. God is faithful to His word. The word of God is the helmet of salvation and sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17).

The Bible teaches us how to conduct ourselves, live holy clean lives and to obey God at all times, if we don’t have the knowledge of the scriptures (the Bible) we will be tossed by everything and wont know how to defend ourselves.

Give yourself time and read the Bible, it is the holy book of God, it is our comforter when we cry, it has everything we need and an answers to our lives. To God be the Glory
